Previous we rebuild the initramfs when kenrel load module list changed, but this is not very stable as some async services may load/unload kernel modules, and cause unnecessary initramfs rebuild. Instead, it's better to just check if the module required to dump to the dump target is loaded or not, and rebuild if not loaded. This avoids most false-positives, and ensure local target change is always covered. Currently only local fs dump target is covered, because this check requires the dump target to be mounted when building the initramfs, this guarantee that the module is in the loaded kernel module list, else we may still get some false positive. dracut-install could be leveraged to combine the modalias list with kernel loaded module list as a more stable module list in the initramfs, but upstream dracut change need to be done first. Passed test on a KVM VM, changing the storage between SATA/USB/VirtIO will trigger initramfs rebuild and didn't notice any false-positive. Also passed test on my laptop with no false-positive.
